The Billups booze bill has
been disowned by its daddy.
That law factory at Guthrie
has already cost the taxpayers
of the new state over $40,000.
We fail to notice any of the
democratic papers shouting for
glee over the printing bill
passed at Guthrie last week.
The Sparks Review, under
the management of the new
owners, Mr. and Mrs. Goheen,
presents a decided improve-
ment.
I
ittorney general under McKin-
ley, he declared that "over cap-
italization and monopoly by
orporations is a fraud and im-
position on the public and
-;honld be checked by the gov-
ernment." In view of his atti-
tude in regard to corporations,
he is liable to become a formid-
able candidate for the presi-
dential nomination, unless Vice j
President Fairbanks or Sena-
tor Foraker, of Ohio, should de-
velop strength.
Taft and Knox, or Knox and
Taft, would make an invincible
combination. Either of the
two latter would command the
confidence of the business in-
terests of the people. The
other statesmen occasionally
mentioned are still in an
embryotic state.—Illustrated

A Passing
From Poverty
By Mrs. Preston Hon aril
It is reported that there art
fourteen saloons running wide
open in Tulsa and not one cent
of license is being paid into the
city treasury.
The main building of the Ok-
lahoma unniversity at Norman
was totally destroyed by fire
last Friday afternoon. The
loss is estimated at $85,000
with about $20,000 insurance.
The fire started in the dome by
the explosion of a gasolene
stove which workmen were
using to melt paint with which
to paint the roof of the building.
A number of the republican
papers of Oklahoma find a good
deal to talk about, but seem
absolutely ignorant of the fact
that a campaign for, the elec-
tion and instruction of dele-
gates to a national convention
is beginning. And >ct these
papers usually have their views
on every subject, and do not
hesitate to give them out.
Their silence on the issues it1
the state is thoroughly under-
stood. The World urges them
to come out of the brush anc1

One U. W. Unger, who, at
present, resides in Chandler,
does not take kindly to our oc-
cupation ordinance and is out
with an open letter asking the
citizens ty repudiate the ordi-
nance. He winds up his "speil"
as follows:
"And now, you who are
thus being imposed upon
unlawfully should rise up
as American citizens, with
that fire and vim that called
this grand and great repub-
lic into existence, and
down this accursed tyranny
md refuse to pay tribute to
these loafing, insignificant,
tobacco soaked, half starved
officers, and demand your
rights which the comtitu-
tion of this broad land
guarantees to every citi-
zen."
PRESIDENTIAL POSSIBILITIES
While the outlook in regan
to the presidential nominatio
by the republican party ne.vt
June is somewhat in a a nebu
lous state, nevertheless th-re i
no doubt that the first choice of
the .vest at the present time is
Hon. v\ illiam 1 aft, secretary

Hughes, of New York, as a
presidential possibilty does rot
arouse, any enthusiasm, I e-
cause he vetoed the two cent

the New York legislature last
wi iter. That veto has elimi-
nated Hughes, so far as the
west is concerned.
Lx-Attorney General Knox,

fro n P ennsylvania, is coming
to the ' "'nit as a potei tial factor

One bitter day In February Josie
Evans climbed the stops of a broad
stone mansion and pullod the bell with
such weak, cramped fingers It was
little wonder It failed to sound, and
she was left to stand there in an icy
wind, that seemed cruelly searching
for .her young heart, as It swept
through the thin, sadly-worn gar-
ments.
For Josle. never rich, was now moKt
poor! Since the day after Christmas,
when she had been discharged from
the large store, where she was selling
hoMday < crdtv no work had coine. Her
little pile of money had sunk so tow
she had had nothing but bread to cat
for two days; and last night when
Miss Kilts, the dressmaker, came Into
the cold, furnished room, yhere she
and her roommate sat bundled up in
shawls and hoods, and told her of this
little job of work. It seemed almost as
If an angel had appeared!
But now with the bleak air and the
waiting, her courage sank.
"Oh," she cried, "what if this lady
will not let me work on her beautiful
dress? What shall I do! What shall
I do!"
And then, In desperation, she seized
the bell with both hands aud tugged
with all her strength.
A moment later a trim colored man
opened the door.
What joy to pass from the gloom
arid wintry blast outside into the wide
vestibule; its air like summer, the
light from rich stained glass falling on
huge candelabra, marble tiles and
yrowiDg palms!

failed, and she too was upon a sick
bed for a time; and when sh" rose
a :,in and tried to send word to her
friend, could not find the address, and
had sent the letter to tho seminary,
asking'them to forward.
"And It was forward, forward for
six months, my dear! But you haven't
heard! That lawsuit I used to harp
on so was decided in our favor; so I
took the (20,000 and determined I'd go
to Europe. There was a party mad£
up, and I started off on a three days'
notice. And that unfortunate letter
of yours, my dear." she said, elevating
her dimpled hands and ruining her
black brows, "went from Dan to
Hacksheba. or Barsheba, whichever it
Is! and I read it at last one day away
down In lovely, beautiful Italy. 1 sin
a fearful correspondent, I know; but
I sat down that minute aud wrote to

"Ah," said Josie, "but 1 wasn't there
then "
And she explained how, when fu-
neral expenses were paid for and doc-
tors' bills, there was almost nothing
left, even though she sold the little
brown house. And how they had told 1
her there was work for everyone ia
:;reat New York, and so—"
"Oh, dear, dear, dear!" exclaimed 1
Mrs. Fanton, breaking in. "Don't tell !

It is very important that rail-
way cars bo adequately and
properly ventilated.
In sleeping cars, especially, #
passengers appreciate pure

"stuffy atmosphere which
menns headache and car-
sickness.
All Pullman sleeping cars
on the "Rock Island are
now equipped "u ith (he

—a most effective device.
The "Rock Island" was the
first Western road to
install the'ventilator on its
coaches, and is to-day the
only line having them in
general use.

That night about nine o'clock, Josle
rolled home in her friend'* luxurious
carriage, accompanied by a small
trnnk.
"You can carry the things eaBier bo,"
Carrie had said.
And when Josie, in ber «wn room,
kuelt down and raised the lid, there
wa« a note lying on top. Bhe opened
It, and two crisp Vs fell out.
"If you don't take this from an old
